| PUR PLAISIR MALBEC 2012 AC Cahors |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CHÂTEAU HAUT MONPLAISIR |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, slightly spicy, leathery, baked plum nose with some Calvados notes. Dry, medium-full to full bodied, dense, somewhat spicy, intense, baked plum-apple flavours with a lingering, high acid finish. This 100% malbec has 14% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar and needs time to evolve. TONY ASPLER / 92-points / TRY - Cedary, licorice nose with spicy oak notes; full-bodied, dry, well-extracted black fruit flavours; beautifully balanced, fleshy but muscular, ending on ripe tannins. |

| TASTING NOTE: Produced from organically grown grapes, this powerful and impressive expression of pure Malbec is generous while also solid and firm. It has plenty of dark tannins to go with the solid fruits and tense acidity. Produced from selected parcels, it is a wine to age further. Drink from 2019. This wine was ranked #33 in the 2016 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Cellar Selections. Score - 95 (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 1, 2016) |
